3. PROTECTED SPECIES LEGISLATION Brief Summary of Protected Species Legislation Relevant to the Ecological Survey Area other than that provided in the main text1

Bats

In England bats are protected under the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 and the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended).

The principal protection under the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 is within Section 43.

In summary it is an offence to:

● Deliberately capture, injure or kill a bat ● Deliberately disturb a bat, including in particular any disturbance which is likely to

impair their ability to survive, to breed or reproduce, or to rear or nurture their young or to hibernate or migrate or affect significantly the local distribution or abundance of the species to which they belong

● Damage or destroy a breeding site or resting place of a bat (an absolute offence); and

● Possess/control/transport/sell/exchange or offer for sale or exchange and live or dead bat.

Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) it is also an offence to:

● Intentionally or recklessly disturb a bat whilst it is occupying a structure or place it uses for shelter or protection; and

● Obstruct access to any structure or place which any bat uses for shelter or protection

Great Crested Newts

Similarly to bats, great crested newts are principally protected under the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 and the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended)

In summary it is an offence to:

● Deliberately capture, injure or kill a great crested newt; ● Deliberately disturb a great crested newt, including in particular any disturbance

which is likely to impair their ability to survive, to breed or reproduce, or to rear or nurture their young or to hibernate or migrate or affect significantly the local distribution or abundance of the species;

● Deliberately takes or destroys the eggs of a great crested newt; ● Damage or destroy a breeding site or resting place of a great crested newt (an

absolute offence); and ● Possess / control / transport / sell / exchange or offer for sale or exchange any live or

dead great crested newt.

Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) it is also an offence to:

● Intentionally or recklessly disturb a great crested newt whilst it is occupying a structure or place it uses for shelter or protection; and

● Intentionally or recklessly damage, destroy or obstruct access to any structure or place which a great crested newt uses for shelter or protection

Otters

Otters are principally protected under the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 and the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended)

In summary it is an offence to:

● Deliberately capture, injure or kill an otter; ● Deliberately disturb an otter, including in particular any disturbance which is likely to

impair their ability to survive, to breed or reproduce, or to rear or nurture their young or to hibernate or migrate or affect significantly the local distribution or abundance of the species;

● Damage or destroy a breeding site or resting place of an otter (an absolute offence); and

● Possess / control / transport / sell / exchange or offer for sale or exchange any live or dead otter.

Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) it is also an offence to:

● Intentionally or recklessly disturb an otter whilst it is occupying a structure or place it uses for shelter or protection; and

● Intentionally or recklessly damage, destroy or obstruct access to any structure or place which an otter uses for shelter or protection

All European Protected Species (including bats, otters and great crested newts)

Under Regulation 9 (3) of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017, all Local Planning Authorities (LPAs) have a statutory duty to engage with the regulations and discharge their duty under them.

The LPA must consider the following three tests and obtain information (via an appropriate ecological survey report or separate documentation) to confirm:

● The activity must be for imperative reasons of overriding public interest (OPI) or for public health and safety;

● There must be no satisfactory alternative; and ● The favourable conservation status of the species in their natural range must be

maintained.

Page 12: APPENDICES 1-6Brief Summary of Protected Species Legislation Relevant to the Ecological Survey Area other than that provided in the main text1 Bats In England bats are protected under

This statutory duty has been clarified by case law2. This includes confirming that the LPA’s duty cannot be discharged by the LPA imposing a condition on the consent that requires the developer to obtain a licence from Natural England. Hence planning permission should be granted unless: the development will result in a breach of the EU Directive and it is unlikely that a licence from Natural England (to allow the development to proceed under derogation from the law), would be granted.

Reptiles

Common reptile species including those that could be found on the site are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) and Countryside Rights of Way Act 2000. In summary, these common species of reptiles are protected from intentional killing and injury. They are also protected from sale/offering for sale / possession or transport for the purpose of sale (whether alive or dead), as well as advertising for sale.

Other amphibians

Common toad, common frog and smooth newt are protected from sale only under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended).

Birds

The majority of British birds, their nests and eggs are protected by law under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) and the Countryside Rights of Way Act 2000. Certain species listed on Schedule 1 of the WCA have additional protection from disturbance whilst they are nesting.

Badger

Badgers are protected under the Protection of Badgers Act 1992.

Under this legislation it is an offence to:

● Interfere with a badger sett by damaging, destroying, obstructing, causing dog a dog to enter a sett, disturbing an occupied sett - either by intent or by negligence.

Invasive Species Legislation

Section 14 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act is the principal legislation that deals with non-native species in England and Wales. In summary, it makes it an offence to ‘release or allow to escape into the wild any animal which is of a kind not ordinarily resident in and is not a regular visitor to Great Britain in a wild state; or is included in Part 1 of Schedule 9.’ In

Page 13: APPENDICES 1-6Brief Summary of Protected Species Legislation Relevant to the Ecological Survey Area other than that provided in the main text1 Bats In England bats are protected under

relation to plants it is an offence to ‘plant or otherwise cause to grow in the wild any plant which is included in Part II of Schedule 9.

Other relevant legislation

The Water Framework Directive

The Water Framework Directive (WFD) (2000/60/EC). Aims to deliver a better water environment with a key aim of achieving a ‘good ecological status’ for coastal and inland waters by 2015. It is anticipated this will take place through river basin management planning.

The Water Resources Act (WRA) 1991

This act ‘sets out Environment Agency responsibilities in terms of water resource management and issues including flood defence and water pollution. Under the Act there is strict regulation of discharges to rivers, lakes, estuaries and ground waters. It also aims to ensure polluters cover the costs associated with pollution incidents’ (Environment Agency 2013).

The Natural Environment and Rural Communities (NERC) Act 2006

Section 40 of the NERC Act 2006 is of particular note. This section states that ‘every public authority must, in the exercising of its functions, have regard, so far as is consistent with the proper exercise of those functions, to the purpose of conserving biodiversity’.

Section 41 of the NERC Act requires the secretary of state to publish a list of habitats and species that are considered to be of principal importance to the conservation of biodiversity within England.

Section 41 species and habitats that are of particular relevance to the Ecological Survey Area are as follows:

● Bats ● Great crested newts ● Reptiles, most notably grass snake (Natrix natrix) and common toad (Bufo bufo). ● Potentially certain notable bird species. ● ‘Ponds’ and ‘Hedgerows’ are the key priority habitats relevant to the Ecological

Survey Area.

The Highways Act 1980

Warwickshire County Council has responsibility and authority over highways issues within the county, under Section 41 of The Highways Act, which relates to maintenance.

1. Purpose of this Note

Atkins Ltd. was commissioned to undertake Preliminary Ground Level Roost Assessments and Potential Roost Feature (PRF) inspections at a site near Stoneleigh, Warwickshire to assess bat roost potential in support of a forthcoming Ecological Impact Assessment (EcIA) being prepared by Warwickshire County Council.

2. Background

Atkins Ltd. are working alongside ecologists at Warwickshire County Council to assess the potential ecological impacts of a proposed development to re-design the A46 Stoneleigh Junction (the Scheme)1. The main purpose of the Scheme is to address current congestion issues in the area. This Technical Note details the results of preliminary ground level bat roost assessments and Potential Roost Feature (PRF) inspection surveys of trees that may be affected by the Scheme.

3. Site Descriptions & Locations

The part of Stoneleigh Road under consideration sits north-west of the A46 between Kenilworth and Coventry. Most of the trees assessed are located in an area of wet woodland, which sits perpendicular to the Stoneleigh Road at central grid reference SP 31917 73780. All trees within the survey area (comprising woodland along the Finham Brook and several trees south of the Stoneleigh Road, including some within an apiary area), were subject to Preliminary Ground Level Roost Assessments, and the locations of 24 trees (those that were assigned low, moderate or high

potential to support roosting bats) have been plotted on a map, which can be found in Appendix A. The woodland runs north-east from Stoneleigh Road along the course of the Finham Brook (see Fig. 1) for approximately 145 m, with the woodland width being approximately 50 m across at its widest point and tapering to a line of single trees lining the Brook. It is bordered by arable land to the south and east, sheep-grazed fields to the north and the Stoneleigh Road itself to the south-west.

4. Field Surveys Methodology

Preliminary Ground Level Roost Assessment

Preliminary Ground Level Roost Assessments were carried out between the 13th July 2017 and the 14th August 2017 by Warwickshire County Council ecology staff and volunteers2 following BCT Guidelines3 led by Louise Mapstone CEcol (Natural England CL-18 Class 2 Licence registration number 2015/11450-CLS-CLS). Trees were inspected from ground level to look for features that have the potential to support roosting bats (e.g. splits, holes, hollows, cavities, cankers, frost

A46 Stoneleigh Junction Improvement – Bats and Trees Technical Note

cracks, hazard beams, double-leaders, loose or lifting bark and loose ivy) known as Potential Roost Features (PRFs).

These assessments also recorded (if present) signs of any roosting bats (e.g. staining, droppings, odour or audible signs that bats were present). In the case of trees that could not be assessed without the aid of climbing or inspection equipment (see Section 5 for constraints and limitations), PRF Inspection Surveys were scheduled.

Trees were assigned a bat roost suitability classification according to BCT Guidelines of either negligible, low, moderate or high suitability to support roosting bats.

Table 1: Classification of trees by their suitability to support roosting bats

Classification Description

Negligible suitability Negligible habitat features likely to be used by roosting bats.

Low suitability A tree of sufficient size and age to contain PRFs but with none seen from the ground or features seen with only very limited roosting potential.

Moderate suitability A tree with one or more potential roost sites that could be used by bats due to their size, shelter, protection, conditions and surrounding habitat, but unlikely to support a roost of high conservation status.

High suitability A tree with one or more potential roost sites that are obviously suitable for use by larger numbers of bats on a more regular basis and potentially for longer periods of time due to their size, shelter, protection, conditions and surrounding habitat.

Survey sheets were subject to a quality assurance check by Morgan Hughes MSc MCIEEM (Atkins Senior Ecologist and holder of Natural England bat survey licence number WML-CL20-2015-17357).

PRF Inspection Surveys

Inspections of trees for PRFs and inspections of PRFs previously identified during Preliminary Ground Level Assessment were carried out between 16th August 2017 and 18th August 2017. Surveys were led by Andy Leese (Natural England bat licence number: 2015-10290-CLS-CLS), assisted by Jake Mellor and Katie Lawrence. All staff hold CS38 (climbing and aerial rescue).

These inspections were undertaken using tree-climbing equipment in order to gain access to assess PRFs in detail, using endoscopes and torches to search for bats or signs of the presence of bats (e.g. staining, droppings, odour or audible signs that bats were present). These surveys were undertaken for the purpose of determining the presence or likely absence (see Section 5 for constraints and limitations) of bats and also to provide further information (and reassessment where appropriate) of PRFs that had been previously assessed from ground level. Surveys were undertaken according to the BCT Guidelines by experienced personnel in appropriate weather conditions.

Survey proformas were subject to a quality assurance check by Morgan Hughes MSc MCIEEM (Atkins Senior Ecologist and holder of Natural England bat survey licence number WML-CL20-2015-17357).

5. Field Surveys Constraints and Limitations

Preliminary Ground Level Roost Assessment

BCT Guidelines state that Preliminary Ground Level Roost Assessments should ideally be undertaken between December to March, as during other times of the year, vegetation and leaves on trees may obscure views of PRFs and they may go unrecorded. As such, in accordance with BCT guidelines, PRF inspections were carried out to supplement the survey.

PRF Inspection Surveys

BCT Guidelines acknowledge that the primary constraint associated with PRF inspection surveys is that of access / health and safety (trees may not be safe to climb). In the case of four trees (trees 1, 6, 7 and 8), detailed climbing and inspections were not possible due to access / health and safety. One additional tree (tree 8b) was only partly climbed due to access / health and safety. As such these five trees were given precautionary assessments based on the available data.

Additionally, although PRF inspections are likely to identify obvious signs of bats, or signs of recent use by bats, BCT Guidelines acknowledge (as shown by the Andrews and Gardener 2015 model of encounter probability for PRF inspections) that a degree of confidence in encountering low numbers of transient bats would require numerous visits, which is not practicable. As such a precautionary approach is recommended to works on trees assessed as having moderate or high potential for supporting roosting bats.

6. Survey Results

All trees within the survey area were subject to Preliminary Ground Level Roost Assessments between the 13th July 2017 and the 14th August 2017, at which time the need for further PRF investigations of 24 trees4 was identified by Warwickshire County Council ecologists. Of those 24 trees, two had PRFs that were accessible from the ground (trees 1QK7 and 2c), and as such were inspected by Warwickshire County Council Ecologists on the day of assessment (and thus did not require further climbing and PRF inspections). The remaining 22 trees were selected for tree climbing and PRF inspections and were subsequently surveyed by RammSanderson ecologists and arboriculturists between 16th and 18th September 2017. Of those 22 trees:

Twelve trees were re-assessed based on findings of the PRF inspections and subsequently reclassified;

Five trees were subject to inspection and had their initial assessment confirmed; and Four trees (trees 1, 6, 7 and 8) were not able to undergo detailed or complete inspections

due to access / health and safety and have been given precautionary assessments based on the available data. One additional tree (tree 8b) was only partly climbed due to access / health and safety and was been given a precautionary assessment based on the available data.

4 Those assessed as having low, moderate or high potential to support roosting bats were identified as requiring PRF investigations. Those assessed as having negligible potential to support roosting bats were not considered further.

Page 184: APPENDICES 1-6Brief Summary of Protected Species Legislation Relevant to the Ecological Survey Area other than that provided in the main text1 Bats In England bats are protected under

A46 Stoneleigh Junction Improvement – Bats and Trees Technical Note

In total, three trees received a final assessment as having high bat roost potential, six as moderate and 15 as low (see Table 1 in Appendix B).

7. Conclusions No confirmed bat roosts were found during the surveys.

BCT Guidelines stipulate that in the case of trees with either Negligible or Low potential to support roosting bats (trees 1b, 1qgc, 1qgd, 1qja, 1qk7, 4, 4c, 5, 7, 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b, 10b and 11), no further surveys are likely to be required, and that precautionary measures during felling are appropriate.

In the case of trees with either Moderate or High potential to support roosting bats (trees 1, 1qgk, 1c, 2c, 3c, 6, 8, SB1 and SB2), BCT Guidelines state that further surveys are likely to be required should impacts on the PRF be predicted.

Due to the dynamic nature of crack willow and wet woodland environments, should works not commence within a year of this assessment, it is recommended that surveys be repeated in order to provide up-to-date information.
